Man, these women 😂

I listen to a ton of podcasts but this one is definitely the one that makes me laugh the haaaaarrrdest! And all their episodes are so relatable ❤️

A very entertaining look into self help

I have no clue how I found this gem of a podcast... It doesn't really matter, because I LOVE it!
Two very smart ladies from New York live for two weeks by various self help books and talk about how this affected their lives. Hilarious!
Aside from the content I really appreciate the very professional recording (I hate nothing more than starting to listen to a new podcast just to be disappointed because of poor recording quality and always giggling host).
This podcast is highly recommended! Greetings from Germany!
